ABB Website Casestudies
As you might have seen I developed the plugin called ABB to make affiliate comparison sites real fast. In the comming weeks I will make several sites using this plugin and use them as a casestudy. To be more precise I will build as much as I can in a span of 30 days starting today. I will use domainnames I already own and are sitting on the shelf and I will register new domainnames. The idea is to show you what you can do if you focus on building sites using the plugin and what kind of results it will bring.
These sites below I already made and will also be added to the casestudy.
GPS Watches
GPS Watches is a site about watches with GPS. They are used by people that love to run or enjoy outdoor activaties like hiking and camping. Most of the watches have a feture to conect to a pc so you can watch your perfermance
Hammock with Stand
If you have a garden without any trees or other ways to attach a hammock, a hammock with a stand is an ideal solution.
Waterproof Running Shoes
This site is also for the running enthousiast. If you are serious in running it will mean that at some times you will have to endure the elements. And nothing is as unpleasant as running in shoes that became wet. I know because I try to run at least 2 times a week …rain or shine.
Tents for Kids
There are two types of tents for kids…the first are the playtents for indoors or the garden and the other onces are the tents that you use for camping. This site is about both of them.
Rooftop Cargo Carrier
When you are going to camp and take your family in the car it will often happen that you whished you had more room
A rooftop cargo box is a usefull solution
Besides the building part I will also promote them in the 30 days. None of these sites are heavily promoted yet and all I did was submit the rss feed. Some already have a ranking and last wekend I got 3 sales from the rooftop cargo site. I will add that to the list

The thing that I have learned the most from the past building blast is that Amazon is converting like crazy and CJ.com and Linkshare don’t do a thing for me. All the income is from Amazon and altho on several site merchants like Buy.com or Shop.com are having the same product for a cheaper price I see people still buy at Amazon. On some sites I see in my report 10 clicks and 1 item ordered. My best site has had 35 clicks and had 5 items ordered. I am shocked at those conversions.
But the numbers are low so I don’t want to put definiative conclusions to it but it strickes me as odd. My instinct says that people want to see comparisons but if the differnce in price is low they still will go with Amazon as that is what they know, trust and rely on.
